The Coldspring Area Art League hosted their annual judged Spring Art Show on March 14, hosting a multitude of paintings, sculptures and other works of art to be judged by the Lone Star Art Guild.

The Lone Star Art Guild is an organization that consists of 18 different local art leagues, including the Coldspring Area Art League (CAAL). The Guild gives the members of these leagues an opportunity to go to the Lone Star Art Guild convention if their works of art place or make honorable mention.

Artists are divided into five divisions based on age and level of artistic profession, as well as 10 different categories for the different forms of media used to create art.

The judged art show displayed numerous pieces of art, ranging from acrylic paintings to sculptures and even jewelry.

“We had 51 entries, which is just awesome,” said CAAL President Linda Deeter.

Best in Show went to John Davis for his work in photography called “Reaching Over.”

“I just had no earthly idea,” said Davis. “I was absolutely taken by surprise.”

Deeter’s oil painting, “Sunshine Roses” won the Best Floral award. She later noted she was both surprised and happy upon receiving the ribbon.

Other pieces of art received different a total of 44 ribbons ranging from first place to honorable mention.

There are two participants for Division V’s “Elementary Students.” They are sisters Ashlynn and Abegayle Foster. Ashlynn Foster won first place for her “Beverly Hills” marker piece while Abegayle Foster won second place for her marker work titled “Patchwork.”

Every participant who won a ribbon is going to participate in the Lone Star Art Guild convention held on June 26 in Spring, Texas, at the Klein School District.

All of the winners at the judged show are going to have their work displayed at Chelten’s Photo Gallery on March 21 through the end of the month.
